The 26-year-old was a pivotal player for PSG last season as he helped his side claim their first Ligue 1 title since 1994.

Chelsea and City are hoping to take advantage of a lack of speed being implemented by PSG over a new deal by offering Matuidi the chance to play in the Premier League.

Matuidi will be free to discuss pre-contract terms in the new year, which is likely to perk the interest of a number of European clubs.
